Prince Harry has settled in a rare individual interview with the British tabloid media.
“We all know what the British press can be like.
And it has destroyed my mental health, ”he said in an interview with British presenter James Corden.
He found the reporting "toxic".
“And so I did what any husband and father would do.
I had to get my family out of there. "
He is alluding to a momentous decision: The Duke of Sussex and his wife Duchess Meghan Markle surprisingly withdrew from the front row of the British royal family last year.
Last week they announced their final resignation.

The couple, who are expecting their second child, now live with their young son Archie mainly in Meghan's home country, California.
Prince Harry emphasized that he did not run away.
In a "really difficult environment" he decided to take a step back.
Service to society still determines his life.
Corden, who usually invites his celebrity guests to chats and singing to "Carpool Karaoke" in his Range Rover, drove with Harry through Los Angeles in an open double-decker bus.

Prince Harry gave insights into the family's new life in the USA.
With the Queen and her husband Prince Philip, he arranged to make a video call so that they could meet their great-grandson Archie.
His son's first word was "crocodile".
For Christmas, the Queen gave Archie a waffle iron.
Harry found words of praise for the Netflix series "The Crown".
The hit series traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II, Harry's grandmother.
"I much prefer 'The Crown' to those stories that are written about my family, my wife, or me."

"I prefer 'The Crown' to those stories that are written about my family, my wife or me." He added: "They don't pretend it's news, it's fiction."
But the series has only loosely to do with reality.
Nevertheless, the program gives a “rough idea” of the royal lifestyle and the pressure to put one's own family responsibilities on.
In just over a week, Harry and his wife want to speak again on US television.
The couple have announced an "intimate" interview with US star presenter Oprah Winfrey on March 7th.
It is expected that the two will explain their withdrawal from all royal obligations in it from their own perspective.
